[Progressive facial hemiatrophy: report of a case]

The authors report a case of Parry-Romberg disease with predominantly facial left atrophy, seizures, amnesic aphasia, mental retardation, right hemiplegia and hemianesthesia, and cerebellar syndrome. The rarity of cerebellar atrophy (only one case thus far reported in the literature surveyed) is emphasized, as well as the correlation between the clinical abnormalities and the computerized axial tomography of the skull.
